InSinkErator to explore future of food waste management at KBB 2026
As major changes to recycling regulations come into effect across England this March, InSinkErator will explore the future of food waste management at KBB Birmingham 2026.
From March 2026, food waste separation becomes mandatory for all households in England under the Simpler Recycling scheme. At this year’s Birmingham show, InSinkErator will discuss what these changes mean for kitchen retailers and consumers alike, highlighting how its food waste disposer products can complement composting and food caddy usage to maintain a clean and healthy kitchen.
Located in Hall 19, Stand J82, InSinkErator will educate visitors about the upcoming recycling legislation through its COMPOST CADDY EASY strategy, the brand’s new educational campaign around modern food waste management. The team will outline the benefits and practicalities of its products as food waste disposal becomes an increasingly prominent national conversation.
In addition to COMPOST CADDY EASY, InSinkErator will showcase food waste disposers from its industry-leading collection, including models from its Next Generation range, and the brand will also display a selection of instant hot water taps from its product portfolio.
This year’s big preview comes in the form of the new LEDefense sink flange, launching later in 2026. Backed by Vyv LED technology, the InSinkErator LEDefense flange features an always on, pleasant, purplish-blue LED light that kills 99% of odour-causing bacteria and viruses.
Ashley Munden, managing director EMEA at InSinkErator, commented: “InSinkErator is looking forward to returning to KBB Birmingham, where we’ll be focusing on our COMPOST CADDY EASY strategy. With the introduction of the Simpler Recycling legislation in March, our aim is to educate industry professionals about the options available to their customers for managing food waste responsibly, ensuring they’re informed and aligned with the new regulations.
“As an active campaigner for the responsible disposal of unavoidable food waste, we believe that a food waste disposer offers a clean, hygienic solution for handling inedible kitchen scraps. This year’s show presents a great opportunity to connect with the industry and discuss the future of food waste management at such a pivotal time.”
Ashley continued: “Since 1927, InSinkErator has created products that make it easy and hygienic to dispose of food scraps. A food waste disposer remains an ideal solution when using a caddy or composting isn’t practical. Retailers and designers can start factoring this into their kitchen designs as food waste disposers can be real game changers, adding value and convenience for customers.”
